Yolanda’s grammar drove donuts over Steve’s. In fact Steve’s email shows my problem with spell-checkers: people who can’t write think the spell-checker will fix it. Instead, they end up with something a little bit prettier, but just as irrational and ungrammatical.

A mistake like what Steve made here with this email is something that only 25-year-olds (or younger) might make. After that first mistake, they should learn to put their P-A tendencies aside when talking to potential employers (or any employer, for that matter, current or past). The kind of overreactionary shit Steve just pulled should *not* be the actions of someone bitching about those young 25-year-old whippersnappers.
Team Kansas City, all the way. (Although, if they’re having trouble deciding on someone, they should inform their applicants of a delay.)
Oh and by the way…

This note sounds a lot like my exhusband. These guys never can keep the jobs they do actually fake their way into. Typically they are only hired so the management can blame them when things get really bad, and then they fire them. So, he will get what is coming to him one way or another.

What the hell’s he nagging about? So he didn’t get a response in that exact week, who cares? Thoughts like “Maybe something happened.” or “I’ll probably hear from them next week.” should come to his mind. Instead he decides to show them what a complete prick he is. Someone should teach him about patience. (And perhaps some good grammar, lol)

Holy mother of god… What an utter, utter wanker.
Had an idea though – do you think maybe he was being metaphorical when he said “Some of us have a rather large influence”? Maybe his mummy told him calling it a penis in public was rude so he should call it his ‘influence’? So actually what he’s saying at the end of his email there is ‘Screw you guys, I don’t need your job, I’ve got a huge dick’?
Just a thought…

The answer is simple. He does not really want that job in the first place. He is going through the motions, probably to mollify others in his environment and, of course, himself, but as much as he needs the money (or maybe not) overall, this job is not something that turns him on.
As soon as he realizes this, he will either stop chasing squirrels up the wrong trees, or persuade himself that actually their acorns are indeed tasty. As it is, it’s sort of a preemptive case of sour grapes.
In varying degrees, I’ve been there, done that, myself. That’s part of what makes this funny. We all do it to some degree, in some situations. Aesop’s Notes deja voodooed again. Same stories, different milleniums.

Ah, GVI- you never been on unemployment I see.
Prime way to milk the system into getting your $400 a week for the next 12 months is to apply to the minimum number of jobs required (something like one application a week) and then NOT get hired.
In the freakish case when you actually get called to the interview, proceed to be a pompus ass so you do not get hired.
Do not pass go, collect your $400

I have done similar, well into my 30′s. After interviewing for a management position, and being soundly rejected, the same company emailed me later to see if I had any interest in an “individual contributor” position.
Something gets into your mind at that point. I remember penning a vitriolic note turning down their “menial” offer (which, of course, I had not yet been offered, but was fairly equivalent to the initial management position). I included comments like, “…can I expect yet another call from you when your newly-hired manager finds himself hopelessly over his/her head?”
It got me nowhere- in truth, at that point, I no longer wanted to work for them. I just wanted the satisfaction of turning them down, after they had rejected me earlier. Heck, the job was in upper Minnesota; what kind of a pale-skinned, frozen tundra, lamps from whale blubber, nearly Canadian bridge was I really burning, anyway? But as this note clearly demonstrates, the final joke is on the vengeful retorter.
I even remember receiving a reply to my rant, including something like, “…you were one of the better candidates for the original management spot, but we filled it internally…” Looking back now, I am certain they were simply playing with me.
But if you are going to write such a note, you have to re-read it before hitting “Send”. It’s much more classy that way.

Well I was already laughing at “I guess no interest.” Okay but seriously, how many companies say ‘we’ll call you’ after an interview and never call? A lot.
I’m puzzled by “some of us have a rather large influence.” I’m with #51 (Sair). Maybe his large influence is going to steal all the ladies from them forever. Then they’ll be sorry for not hiring him!! Haha.
How big of an influence can he really have if he’s wasting time writing an eff-you note to a company who didn’t call him back. Shouldn’t he be busy using his influence to burn down the building?

Wow. How come CB never introduced *me* to I. Felthersnatch?!?
I would have hooked him up with Sheila Filgud:)

Lou Zurr is a great name, better than fah-q, although that’s a good one too. But bringing out the best of both worlds, and combining them to form Loufah is the best choice if you ask me. You get a brand new, cool name AND we’ll always be remembered of the two names you once had.. (sentiment lol)
Team Loufah FTW!

I haven’t found out yet – usually when they see a name I’ve written (like Amanda Huginkiss… my favorite) they cross it out… I still wonder if they call those names out loud like a Dr. office….

Those are all great ones!
Mine, we used for substitute teachers who had to do roll call. After repeating the name twice they’d say Who’s Dick Burns (or whichever name was used) and we would cry out in unison…”MINE DOES”!

I’m not gonna read all the previous comments (sorry, bedtime for me), I’d just like to say:
That kind of email/follow up is…. well maybe not “typical”, but not un-expected from the type of candidate that companies tend to go for, and it PISSES ME OFF!
They tend to favour people who are full of themselves and can sell themselves well – no wonder those are likely to react like that (even if their spelling and punctuation is below par, and they’re basically complete arseholes, and often unable to perform). The fact that this guy was “among the top 5 before this email” totally underlines that point.
Bitter? Me? Never.
Signed,
Not-team-anyone, they’re all cunts.

I always knew her as Ivana Huginkiss but maybe Amanda is her sister.
and I’m so surprised Michael Hunt is not up there.
I’d love to do a list but I’m SO tired….maybe tomorrow…

What a douche. The unfortunate thing is that to be professional the employer has to be cool and not respond.

No, no, no! The employer should DEFINITELY reply and let him know that he was one of the top five. It would be awesome if the e-mail could include a link to this site but it’d probably result in this jerk trying to sue them or something.
